Virginia 250 History Fest

The Virginia 250 History Fest, sponsored by the Arlington Historical Society was held at Kenmore Intermediate School. More than fifty civic, historical, arts, education, and other community groups were represented, evoking our communty's rich history. The Columbia Pike Documentary Project presented our work in conjunction our fiscal sponsor, the Columbia Pike Partnership. (CPP)

Featured were live reenactments, musical performances, historical storytelling, hands-on demonstrations, children’s activities and crafts, local organizations sharing their history, and local food vendors.

Thanks to the good folks at CPP, notably staffers Sarah Manrique Chiriboga and Josue Bastidas, the Historical Society, our colleagues at Studio Pause, and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington.
